Exciting & Easy to Sell Products

When planning to raise money fundraising ideas can be difficult to narrow down. When planning out the fundraiser it’s important to take into consideration the amount of effort needed to make each sale. Volunteers, parents, teachers, and school staff will all be donating their time and energy in order to help raise money and support the fundraising event. Because flowers are a popular item, an easy gift, and a fun purchase they make excellent fundraising products. By choosing something that is both an easy sell and a rotating seasonal item it won’t be an issue getting people excited about your fundraisers.

Unique Floral Options Each Season

Unlike popcorn, wrapping paper, and other fundraising gimmicks, flowers are seasonal and change throughout the year. This means JOCO Growers offers a wide selection of products depending on what we’re growing for that particular season. We regularly do market research in order to determine the best species and varietals, understand trending colors, and plan our greenhouse in advance. We will work with any fundraising organizer to hep them determine which flowers and products will pair best with their fundraisers, the time of year, and what their fundraising goals are. JOCO Growers is proud to produce high-quality, healthy plants that go straight to fundraisers and are dedicated to providing an incredible selection. All of the research and work we do into curating our greenhouse is done with the internet of providing the best variety for our fundraising clients. With an easy-to-sell, popular product we aim to help every fundraiser exceed its financial goals.

Getting Students Involved in Fundraising Events

An interesting advantage to selling flowers over other typical fundraising products is the unique ways you can involve students in the process. For schools that have gardening or horticulture programs the fundraiser can be woven into the curriculum to provide more hands-on, real life experiences. In the event that a school doesn’t have a program dedicated to learning about plant life, gardening staff can utilize the opportunity to teach students the basics of growing plants and understanding their life cycle. Students can learn about how to care for plants, even specifically learning about the plants we’re providing for their fundraiser.

Low Overhead Fundraiser Items

It can be difficult to come up with fundraising ideas that efficiently raise money without a costly initial investment. With JOCO Growers we are upfront and work with fundraising organizers to ensure they can build a fundraising campaign that suits their needs and gets their community excited.

We can provide information and assets to make creating social media posts, flyers, and emails easier.

Giving the Gift of a Flower

One of the great appeals to selling flowers for your fundraiser is how frequently flowers are given as gifts. Unlike many other traditional fundraising products, flowers have the benefit of being an exciting product both to purchase for yourself and as a gift. Instead of giving a floral arrangement or roses that last a short time, giving the gift of healthy flowers means whoever is receiving the flowers will be able to enjoy them for much longer. Flowers are the perfect items to sell at your fundraiser event regardless of the time of year. Springtime has many flower-centric holidays like Mother’s Day and Easter. Mums are a beautiful flower that is popular throughout the fall, and around the beginning of the end-of-year holiday season. Because of all of these gifting opportunities flowers make an excellent product for fundraising. By giving customers items to choose from that make a great gift they can easily purchase for themselves, for someone else, or for both.

Flowers Are a Widely Loved & Popular Product

When trying to decide what products to sell for fundraising we are strong believers in utilizing widely adored flowers. JOCO Growers has dedicated 100% of our grow space to providing flowers for local fundraisers because we know flowers are a popular product that can translate to sales for fundraisers. Flowers have a very wide appeal making sales much easier than some more traditional fundraising products. Flowers often are correlated with different seasons, different parts of the year, and can be given as gifts. With our experience working with organizations for countless fundraisers it’s clear to us that the demand and appeal of flowers makes them an excellent choice for fundraising compared to consumables and trinkets that most people aren’t excited to own. Selecting flowers as your product to fundraise for your organization will result in a smoother process and will reduce the pressure on your volunteers to make sales with products customers aren’t excited to purchase.
